A Railroad Town in the Woods
Spray Foam Insulation in Nauvoo serves a small community on the northwest edge of Walker County that reaches slightly into Winston County. Nauvoo was founded in 1888 during construction of the Northern Alabama Railway and was once a center of coal mining. It grew out of farm settlements known as Blackwell's Crossing and Ingle Mills. It had 185 residents in 2020.
Rural homes
Homes around Nauvoo are spread out on wooded land. Shade keeps roofs cooler in summer but keeps crawl spaces damp. A liner, rim joist foam and floor insulation are usually the first steps, with attic sealing and depth after.
Camp McDowell
Camp McDowell, the camp and conference center of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, is in Nauvoo. Camps and retreat buildings have the same insulation needs as homes and cabins, and we can look at buildings of that type too.
Cabins
Cabins and part-time homes in this wooded country benefit from sealing the crawl space and attic so they do not collect moisture when closed up.
Wood heat and insulation
Some rural homes and cabins around Nauvoo heat with wood. Foam and other insulation need proper clearance from chimneys, flues and stovepipes. We keep that clearance and seal around chimney chases with fire-rated materials rather than foam. A well sealed and insulated house holds the stove's heat longer, so you burn less wood. We note any chimney or flue we see during the visit and plan around it.
